What happens when a ubiquitous fast-food chain swaps out tartar sauce for “spicy sauce” on their fish sandwich? You get a happy customer. Burger King‘s Spicy Big Fish Sandwich is their latest deep-fried ichthological offering. It appears to be roughly the same build as their Big Fish Sandwich (which I reviewed here), so for sake… Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since my last Friday Fast Food Fishtacular, mainly because I’ve exhausted all the fast-food fish sandwich offerings in the tri-county area. In fact, I was considering a series of critiques on fish tacos/fish burritos, but that could escalate into shrimp po’boys or tuna melts. No, fish sandwiches are my jam. Last… Continue Reading →
The Easter season is coming to a close, and many fast food establishments will start to take their seasonal fish sandwiches off their menus. But you can always count on a few restaurants — McDonald’s in particular — to always have a fish option on their permanent menu. I’ve avoided giving a review of the… Continue Reading →
The last time I had a Jack in the Box fish sandwich was for this blog. I thought it was average and unmemorable so I never went back. Sitting at a red light I spied a Jack in the Box window poster touting a “new” fish sandwich. I decided to pay another visit. After all,… Continue Reading →
It’s a slippery slope. That’s what I told Darlene when she suggested I do a Friday fast-food fish sandwich review of Del Taco. See, Del Taco serves tacos, not fish sandwiches. But that logic was my own undoing when I reviewed the McDonald’s Fish McBites last month. Fish balls does not equal fish sandwiches. So… Continue Reading →
This is just a quick update: I noticed Wendy’s had a differently named seasonal fish sandwich so a return trip was in order. Was it a superficial name change or was it a complete overhaul? I had to investigate! Ever been faked out by your own taste expectations? Like when you want a Coke, you… Continue Reading →
As I was running errands a few days ago, I noticed that Carl’s Jr. was advertising a new fish offering: the Carl’s Charbroiled Atlantic Cod Fish Sandwich. Did someone say “charbroiled?” Not breaded? Not deep-fried? I already tried their sub-sea behemoth, the Carl’s Catch, a few years ago… would this new sandwich be a contender?… Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my previous Friday Fast-Food Fishtacular post, I avoided reviewing Burger King’s BK Big Fish simply because it’s a pale imitation of the long-since-retired Whaler. But since I gave McDonald’s some attention, I figured I should give equal time to Burger King. But I was too late to the party — I… Continue Reading →
I’ve been doing Friday fast-food fishtacular reviews for a few years now, trying my best to give an honest opinion about various fish sandwiches from ubiquitous fast-food franchises. All the while, I’ve avoided The Big Two: McDonald’s and Burger King. My reasoning was that their fish sandwiches are year-round menu staples (opposed to some other… Continue Reading →
When I think “fast food” — and likely when you do, too — Dairy Queen almost never comes up as a choice. In fact, the only time I do think of “Dairy Queen” and ‘food” in the same, connected thought is when I’m on a road trip and I see a DQ on the side of… Continue Reading →
